Likaw-Likaw

The Lord moved today in sending my brother Roland and I, together with Tina, to a remote place in San Jose del Monte, called Likaw-Likaw, where a small gathering of Catholic devotees were celebrating their 2nd anniversary with a thanksgiving mass, and two of the people overseeing this event inviting us over to speak the word of the Lord to the audience. Whether they had a more personal agenda to all this or not does not matter, we have been presented with a rare opportunity to preach the Gospel to a captive audience who.

Confused as we were, this incident, as I deemed was from the Lord, leaned towards to the advantage of the Gospel, for brother Roland was earlier able to minister the word even inside the jeep we rode in towards the location. Groups of young teens, women, and men, eagerly listened to the message of hope and warning, and they easily accepted our tracts. There were about 25 inside who were able to hear, and even the driver slowed down to listen.

This may be one situation to which, had we known, we would not have obliged. But what are the chances of these people, mostly old and stricken, having the Gospel preached to them? And what are our chances of having a wholly Catholic audience listen to us attentively from beginning till end? If we were to do this in the streets, these same people would have easily ignored us. But such are the ways of the Lord. We had no idea why, nor do we understand, we just obeyed.
